Robert McFarland, b. 1675 - County Tyrone

McFarlands of County Tyrone

Read your message at the FamilyHistory website about the McFarlands of Tyrone, and did a search at the Mormon site at www.familysearch.org

I came up with the following entries, and while the birth of the Robert McFarland doesn't match your 1675, it is very close, and so you may want to investigate further by searching the microfilms you can order from the Mormon's Family History Center near you. The micrfilm numbers are found below each name under "Source Information."----------------------------------

Of course, genealogy is difficult if you don't have a maiden name for the mother, to continue researching your direct pedigree, but the microfilm numbers listed under the two birth entries and the marriage entry of the senior Robert McFarland, may point you to a parish in Tyrone where this particular branch of the family came from.

Then too this may not be your direct line of the McFarland family, and only further research will tell if it is a direct line or a collateral line. Also, there is a possibility there may be no records left to examine, but I would try any way.

If you need to know how to find your nearest Family History Center to pursue this research, please email and I'll give you instructions.
